Te păstrez in anii facultății...
Încă nu realizez pierderea ta.
Sper să refacem echipa...dincolo.
Dumneseu să te odihnească-n pace și lumină.

Drum bun, prieten drag! Ai plecat prea devreme dintre noi si doar gandul ca acum te vezi cu Misu si cu tatal tau imi mai alina durerea pierderii tale. Ai lasat in urma ta multa iubire, amintiri frumoase, memorabile, dar prea putine lucrari de arta la cat de mare ti-a fost talentul. Teo, David și Nora, sincere condoleante. Dumnezeu sa va ajute sa treceti peste durere. Si eu, si Sergiu suntem alaturi de voi si vom pastra mereu vie amintirea dragului nostru Cio. Dumnezeu sa-l ierte si sa-l odihneasca.

Ramas bun, Ciorica... cred ca acum stai la taifas cu Misu si cu tatal tau... imi pare rau ca ai plecat asa de devreme dintre noi... nu imi imaginam ca imbratisarea de ramas bun de cand ai fost in Romania va fi ultima amintire pe care o sa o am cu tine... si va fi definitiva...

Sincere condoleante ! Ai plecat prea devreme Norica , dintre noi.

My heart goes out to you and your family, your memory will live on in my heart.
Rest in peace my good friend.

Dumnezeu sa te odihneasca in pace prieten drag...

Îmi pare nespus de rău, condoleanțe familiei!
Tristă veste...

Ramas bun prieten drag.Sufletul tau sa se odihneasca in pace

Noi doi ne-am înțeles fără prea multe cuvinte. Am împărțit atât de multe lucruri, atât de mulți ani, încât ai fost, ești și vei rămâne mereu o parte din mine, partea cea mai bună, mai sensibilă, mai talentată, mai extraordinară.
Inconfundabil și de neînlocuit, iubitul meu prieten. Odată cu această plecare a ta, știu că pierd definitiv cel mai bun om. Voi regreta mereu că nu am fost capabil să te ajut, să te susțin, să te aduc înapoi aici, în spațiul și timpul pe care l-ai iubit. Să fie lumină în sufletul tău, om iubit, și să ne revedem din nou, tineri!

Uncle Cio, I still cant believe that you are not here anymore. I cant imagine never getting a call from you ever again. Thank you for loving my kids soo much. Im happy I got to see you one last time 2 years ago! My heart aches and I can only hope you are at peace now and not hurting anymore. Rest easy. Love you and miss you forever! ❤️‍🩹🤍🕊️until we meet again! Give Tataie a kiss from me!

Vei ramine vesnic in amintirea noastra Norica.

I remember like it was yesterday. I was young, you arrived riding your motorcycle and you gave me and my sister a ride. Since that day I have a passion for motorcycles. Thank you
I was happy seeing you and David in 2023 after all these years. You will never be forgotten. Forever in our hearts.
Rest in peace uncle Norică.

Sunt momente in viata cand cuvintele isi pierd sensul. Nu inteleg moartea, mai ales moartea ta Norian.
Te imbratisez si sunt alaturi de voi Teodora.

Norian, Thank you for taking me in as one of your own and being so supportive of Nora and I’s relationship. We love and miss you so much and will make sure we honor your life through ours, and make you proud as you watch over us in heaven. I am looking forward to finally meeting you and shaking your hand when my time comes.
Much love,
Colin R❤️

Rămas bun, dragă Norian.
Ne-a întristat profund plecarea ta dintre noi.
Dumnezeu să te odihnească.

Sincere condoleanțe familiei.

There are so many lovely memories with you to share. I’m so grateful you are my dad.
With me everywhere forever

Suflet de copil zbuciumat…..ai trăit viața cu intensitate, flacără spiritului tău a ars intens și s-a stins brutal devreme, mult prea devreme…….Ne rămân amintirile, anii petrecuți împreună, creațiile tale și gândul ca poate, în sfârșit ai găsit liniștea care îți lipsea. Dragul nostru prieten, Artistul Norian…… “dar pentru ca era peste măsură de istovit, s-a dus să moară puțin”………….::

Trist si dureros!
Drum bun, Norian!
Familiei, multa putere!

Vars un pahar de vin in memoria ta Norica !

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!

Good by dear friend!
I will miss you, your sense of humor, your lust for life, your friendliness and your silliness. You were my friend, left a big impression on me, just like you touched so many other people's hearts in your beautiful and original way. I know you went to a better place, and hope to join you whenever that might be. May God rest your soul!

My heart breaks for the loss of our dear friend. Life took us on the opposite corners of the world, but I often thought about Ciorica, and secretly rooted for him to become this successful and famous artist. Wishing his family and friends comfort and strength during these trying times. May you find peace in the memories you shared and in the legacy of art he leaves behind.

My dearest Norian, I have always felt you as my brother, standing by my side in good times and especially in bad times. The paths of our lives may be separated awhile ago, but the precious memories and the hope of reunion always remained, no matter how far away that moment seemed. And when it came, incredible, unique moments remained in my soul, wishing we could repeat this endlessly. Now I’m feeling your presence through the works that came out of your hands, given to me with much love once, as a reminder of the good old days, when we were young and beautiful, cheerful, ambitious and courageous. I wish to meet you again in Heaven, in that workshop you always dreamed of, surrounded by Angels and by those works that you imagined of and could no longer complete here. Goodbye until then my dearest Norian, may God rest your soul and forgive you all your mistakes...

imi pare atat de rau...D zeu sa te odihneasca!

Dumnezeu să-i dea odihna cea veșnică, iar vouă tărie să depășiți această grea încercare.

Sincere condoleante familiei...este greu de acceptat... a plecat devreme dintre noi.... Dumnezeu să-i dea odihna cea veșnică 🙏

Norian was a brilliant artist! I had the great privilege of supervising his outstanding Master of Fine Art degree at Monash University, and enjoyed a strong friendship with him in the years following.
I will always remember how his work blew everyone away. It was clear that here was a man who took pride in his work! And rightly so … his meticulous craftsmanship was second to none!
I also remember his great humility and generosity. He was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed.

Adio Norian,coleg si prieten!Drum lin spre lumina!!!Sincere condoleanțe familiei!!Dumnezeu sa te odihnească în pace!!!Regret foarte mult!!!
